AN ENORMOUS YsrAL.-It is
well known, of course, that America
has long been celebrated the world
over as the home of enormous crys-
tails, and the prodigious specimens of
apatlte, beryl and other minerals
have been the subject of wonderment.
But among these the crystals of
spodumene brought to veiw by the
excavations in the Eta tin mine, in
Pennington county, ID. T., are be-
lieved to be without a rival in respect
to size. According to the report
made on this subject by Professor
Blake, it appears that one of these
crystals is thirty-six feet in length in
a straight line, and from one to three
feet in thickness. The cleavage is
smooth and straight, but the lateral
and terminal planes are described as
being OBSCURE New York Sun.

So Juanita was triel; but the trial
was a sad, one-srled affair, in which
there was a total absence Of That love
for fair play so characteristics
Of the American miner No one dared
to say a word for her; for a moment
the men of that region seemed inspired
by Satan to the doing of his internal
will. When the verdict was formally
declared Juauita gave a quiet little
laugh, as il to say, How drolll These
great American men think in this apns
of ancient forms they have given their
prisoner trial Juluita made her will,
verbally, in the four hours allowed her
before execution, arranged her affairs,
and gave her few effects away During
it all her courage carried her far beyond
the usual stold fortitude of her race.
At time when men trcmble and pray,
she was her natural self, neither gay nor
sad She was as far from looking light
ly on the matter as from giving way to
senseless sorrow. Near at hand a bridge

two uprghts, near its middle, with a
beam across, as if for the express pur-
pose Of haneiug 1t was Just the place
for the occasion, aud Ju1uita walked
down to the bridge with light, elastic
step, surrounded by her friends chatting
quietly with them on the way. She
shook hands with them all, but not a
tear nor a tremor was visible She
mounted a stcp-laddcr to a scantling
that had been tied for her to stand
upon. She took from her head a mans
hat that had kindly been placed there
by some friend, and SHE'D it with un-
erring accuracy to its owner, smiling her
thanks Then, with quick deXtcrity,
She twisted up her long black tresscs,
smoothed her dress, placed the moose
over her head, and arranged the rope
carefully. And finally lifted her hands,
which She had refused to have tied,

The Hollanders are the greatest cof-
fee drinkers in the world, their annual
consumption being about eighteen
pounds per head Of th. whole population.
Amsterdam has long been one Of the
great coffee marts of the world; and,
being admitted free Of duty, coffee is
very cheap. Next come Belgium and
n ss4as.sals. II svhich the ecnsutnasies, saaz
capita is about half that of Holland.
Next come the United States, in which
the consumption per capita in 1880 was
eight and cight-tcnths pounds The
present consumption of coffee in the
United States may be stated at a little
over one pound per week for each fam
lily in the nation In the use Of tea and
coffee the people of England and the
United States present most remarkable
contrast. The annual consumption of
the people Of England is just about a
pound of coffee per head, or about one
eighth Of that Of the people Of the
United States Comparing the consump-
tion Of tea with that of coffee, it will be
found that, while the people of the
United States use about five pounds of
coffee to one Of tea, the people of Eng1
land use five pounds of tea to one Of
coffee.
There are fashions in coffee, as in al
most everything. Thurbcr, in his book
on coffee says:
cat Alden and Alexandria the Mocha
coffee is carefully picked over, and as
sorted in compliance with the singular
fashion in trade which creates a demand
in Europe for the larger beans, while tho
United States will have none but the
smaller ones. In point Of fact, tho
larger beans are the best being fully de7
velopcd, more perfect in appearance and
flavor ~ Good Cheer.

The HIGHEST Church in Enrone

The very highest church in Europc,
according to the Bundner Tagblatt. is
the pilgrimage chapel Of St. Maria de
zitcit, above Sllux, in the Canton Of
Graubundcn. 1t lies 2, 43l metres above
tic sea level-nearly 5000 feet high
above the forest, near the limits Of per
petual snow. It's only open during the
summer time Of that region or as the
folks thcrcabouts reckon, from St. John
the BaptIst's Day to St. Michaelts Day
and is used only by the Alp herds, who
remain there through the summer with
their cows and goats and occasionally
by hunters in search Of the chamois and
marmot All the inhabitants Of SaIux
climb up thither on Midsummer Day to
assist at the first mass and hear the first
sermon Of the year, and there is also a
crowded congregation on Michaelmas
Day, at tho last service of the year.
From time to time few stray pilgrims
from the Graubunden ObcrIaud and the
Tyrol find their way thers. The second
highest church probably in Europe, that
OF Monstcin, also open only in the sum
.mer, belongs to Graubunden.
